My political preference is rational anarchist (see THE MOON IS A HARSH MISTRESS by heinlein for an in depth definition) But I can get along with republicans and libertarians alike

I wouldn't say I'm a Republican so much as a conservative free thinker.
I did vote Republican this year though I am also not a big follower of religion, unless its in a purely philosophical curiosity nature. Organized religion is an even bigger can of worms than politics...so I try to avoid it if possible.

Not to rain on anyone's parade or anything, but shouldn't this go in Talk Story instead of General Firefly?

Curious as to the motive behind finding out who the Republicans are? No presumptions.

As mildly offended as I am (as a liberal)
, you've touched on something I've been curious about. In debates with conservatie friends and coworkers I have yet to meet one guided by any form of reason and I've wondered if I sound a silly and non-sensical to them as they do to me. So I'm wondering if you could explain that - how is "rational liberal" an oxymoron?

Yep, I voted for George W. I think he's God's man for this country. Do I think he's perfect? No. But I pray for him. I prayed for Clinton too, that's why he got caught.
Yes, I go to one of those Fanatic Faith Speaking churches. Now before you all run to the corner, or pick up your weapons I'll also say.
I have never believed in a direct link from the throat to the heart. I'll let you think on that.
So then, if I'm one of those "Christians" 
why do I like Firefly? Because, it's all about Faith, Family & Never giving up.
Remember Mal is mad at God, because he felt betrayed. But he went into the War as a man of faith believing he was doing the right thing. "May have been the losing side, still not convinced it was the wrong one."
It's not about the moral standards of the show ie: (what gives it a TV-14 rating), but the morality of it, never giving up, forgiveness, faith, responsibility for actions, justice, love, family, confidence, doing the impossible, overcoming the odds, never leaving a man behind, and the list goes on & on.
Find a Crew, Find a Job, Keep Flying. That's inspiration.
